Breast augmentation

Contraindications to mammoplasty include:

• diseases in the acute period (including chronic ones);
• diabetes and oncology;
• recent end of lactation (up to six months);
• age under 18;
• deprivation of legal capacity.

Since our patients often live in other countries, we conduct an online consultation using a photo of the patient. Based on the results of the consultation, we provide a fully detailed answer from the doctor, recommendations, and also examples of work so that patients, having studied everything, can choose a doctor for themselves

When going to an offline consultation with a plastic surgeon, it is important to find answers to the following questions together:

• Does it make sense to perform the operation in a particular case.
• Preferred access for installing implants.
• Discuss expectations from the operation, as well as the shape and size of the implants.
• Is a lift necessary?
• What kind of anesthesia will be used?
• Care and rehabilitation, as well as the cost of breast augmentation.

In addition, the plastic surgeon needs to be told whether pregnancy is planned, whether there is an intolerance to drugs, and not hide health problems.

It is important that the breast augmentation clinic fully meets the patient’s expectations. This is necessary to achieve a positive result and emotional peace of mind for the woman – she must completely trust the doctor. We are deeply convinced that it is worth choosing not a clinic, but a doctor. To do this, be sure to study all the information about the specialist, look at examples of work with different types of breasts to assess the expertise. When choosing a doctor and a clinic, you should pay attention to:

• Clinic Esteworld in Istanbul. The leading direction is plastic surgery. The main advantages: first-class aesthetic surgery at fair prices
• Considering the niche of mammoplasty, it is impossible not to mention the plastic surgeon Gamze Güler Eren, who is known for her thin sutures. The doctor operates with implants Mentor, Motiva and Polytech
• The name of another surgeon specializing in mammoplasty is Celal Alioglu, the doctor works at the Medicana clinic

The preparatory stage includes the following steps:

• Consultation and initial examination by a plastic surgeon
• Appointment with specialists: therapist, anesthesiologist
• Examinations and tests

After receiving a positive response based on the anamnesis, you can prepare for plastic surgery to enlarge the breast.

Before the mammoplasty procedure, it is necessary to undergo standard preoperative examinations. One of the advantages of undergoing mammoplasty surgery in Turkey is that it is not necessary to take all the tests before the operation in your country. When patients come to Turkey, they undergo all the necessary examinations right in the clinic, which saves time and makes preparation more convenient.

Here is a list of mandatory tests that you can take in a Turkish clinic:

• General and biochemical blood and urine tests.
• Test to determine the Rh factor, blood type, coagulation, as well as tests for syphilis, hepatitis and HIV.
• Test for immunoglobulin E to determine the predisposition to allergic reactions.
• Fluorography.
• Chest ultrasound.

The only thing we prefer patients to undergo in advance in their country is Ultrasound of the mammary glands, as this helps the doctor better assess the condition of the tissues before the operation. After receiving all the results, the therapist in Turkey issues a conclusion on readiness for the intervention.

Breast augmentation methods:

• Lipofilling
• Implantation

Lipofilling is suitable for women who are not ready for endoscopic breast augmentation. The doctor uses fatty tissue obtained by liposuction from the hips or abdomen. Compared to silicone implants, the result is short-lived. The method is not suitable for thin women, but will be an excellent alternative for girls who have contraindications to implantation and want to slightly increase the size of the bust, while maintaining a natural shape.

Breast augmentation with implants is a method that has virtually no “service life”. Based on the method of the procedure, the fillers for the implants are selected:

• Silicone
• Saline-based (saline)
• Hydrogel
• Polyurethane (Polytech Health & Aesthetics)

The surface of the “capsule” can be smooth and porous, and the shape can be round or teardrop-shaped.

Silicone implants look like bags filled with gel. The shell is made of elastomers. They are suitable for women of different builds, but a relatively large incision is required for installation. Due to the high-density gel, the contents do not leak out when the shell ruptures. Saline implants are considered one of the very first. They look like bags with saline solution. They are filled the day before or during the operation through a special valve, which allows to significantly reduce the diameter of the incision. Hydrogel (bioimplants) – filled with a natural polymer, harmless to the female body.

The most reliable are considered to be silicone implants of the brands MENTOR, MOTIVA, POLYTEСH. The price of installing implants in Turkey is from 3,950 euros.

Polytech polyurethane implants are innovative breast implants coated with a polyurethane shell, which are manufactured by the German company Polytech Health & Aesthetics. These implants are known for their high quality and special coating, which helps reduce the risk of capsular contracture, one of the common problems after the installation of conventional silicone implants.

After choosing the implants, you need to choose the method of their placement:

• Subglandular – the implants are placed under the mammary glands.
• Subfascial – under the pectoral muscles.
• Submuscular – located under the pectoral muscles, separated from the ribs.
• Combined – the upper part of the implants is located under the muscle, and the lower part under the gland.

The woman spends the first day after the operation under the supervision of a doctor and takes painkillers. The dosage of the anesthetic is gradually reduced over 3 days. After being discharged from the hospital, it is important to follow simple recommendations:

Thanks to innovative 3D modeling devices, it is sometimes possible to see the result long before the operation. Together with a plastic surgeon, a woman has the opportunity to choose the size and shape of the implants, in accordance with personal preferences and body type.

The result of the procedure depends on the type of implant, age, individual indicators. It lasts for many years and is not an obstacle to lactation in the future.

Plastic surgery for breast augmentation is characterized by minimal trauma, which allows women to quickly return to their normal lives. The patient is guaranteed to receive a high level of service, an individual approach and, as a result, the surgeon’s precision work.

Thanks to regular advanced training, surgeons practice new methods of breast augmentation.

It is not necessary to obtain medical insurance to enter Turkey. All that a future patient needs to do is choose a clinic for the procedure. A Globalmedik consultant will provide detailed advice.
